Paralysis

Fri, 26 Dec 2014: It was 6 am and I had been thinking of doing fild, after I tried and it did not work I went to bed normally. I was in some random room and my friend was there, he was showing me how to do the fild method successfully, he did this by telling me that I need to put my hands out further away from my hips and tap my fingers slower. Once he told me to start trying I remember I kept thinking and saying to my self get ready and I am about to lucid dream, once trying to make beats in my head to my fingers moving. Within 10 seconds of tapping my fingers doing FILD. I remember something just hitting me not physically but it felt like my whole body fell asleep and then I kept moving my fingers for a bit longer concentrating really hard because it was really weird and difficult to stay conscious. When I went to perform a reality check (block my nose) I was frozen, I could not pick my hand up to block my nose but I am not sure if I tried blocking my gland at the back of my throat and tried breathing through it, I think I did, either way I knew I was dreaming. I kept trying to move and think of a different dream land and stuff like that. Then I had thought hard and said to my self what have I read about people getting stuck or having no control in there dreams and for some reason I thought that I read a post that you spin around but obviously that was impossible because I was lying down and stuck probably in sleep paralysis some how in my dream. Either way I knew I was dreaming to some extent, because I was thinking like i was conscious, like I am now in waking life, I just had no control at all. But now when I think about it my eyes were closed that whole time and I do not remember seeing anything at all except when i was frozen I tried imagining a big green grass field and said to my self when i open my eyes i will be there but once i opened my eyes i was in a random room?
